Abstract: | |||||||
This thesis discusses BPS monopoles in hyperbolic space and BPS vortices in the presence of magnetic impurities. We prove explicit formulae for the spectral curve and rational map of a JNR-type hyperbolic monopole, and we use these to study some Platonic examples as well as some new 1-parameter families analogous to Euclidean monopole scattering. Explicit fields and Braam-Austin data for axial hyperbolic monopoles of a particular mass are derived using a correspondence to 1-monopoles, and this data is deformed to give new 1-parameter families. Numerical techniques are used to study the effect of magnetic impurities on vortices on a flat background. Analytic results for vortices with magnetic impurities are found by adapting previous results on vortices on the hyperbolic plane and the 2-sphere.
